Wondering if there are any specific places you would AVOID buying a home due to issues with location. For example flooding/water runoff, air pollution, sink hole repairs (I know you can't predict them) or even insects? Wondering what it's like to live near some of the lakes/swamps/bodies of water for mosquitoes or other bugs?

Thanks!
When I was shopping lots I gave my agent a short list of don’ts.

Keep me away from Turnpike (noise)
Keep me away from high voltage power lines
Keep me away from ponds (snakes)
Keep me away from forest or preserves (more snakes)
Keep me away from pickleball (noise)
Keep me away from dump (odor)
Keep me away from being at the bottom of a hill (drainage)
Keep me away from nearby sinkhole (insurance)
Keep me away from neighbor’s pool pump being right behind my bedroom wall (noise)

There may have been one or two more, I don’t recall.

He found a building lot for me in village of St. Catherine. I’m happy with the lot selection.
